Default Vinyl wrap recommendation South Sydney

Hi all,
Just after a recommendation,
Have the XR5T, and have talked with the other half (who drives it normally) about getting some vinyl wrap done.
So, for her Birthday I thought I'd surprise her
( YES, THIS COULD BACKFIRE....... )
Cheers
Chris
Edit: on the south east side, Taren Point and further south.............

My first assumption on reading your post, was that you were just an idiot troll.
Then I see you're a long-term regular member, so not a troll.

So you want to "surprise" your missus by vinyl wrapping your car for her birthday?
Oh, there'll be a surprise all right.

While you're at, you should spruce up the interior, make it more comfortable.

Since that's where you'll be sleeping.

Jewellery, her favourite perfume, or a large voucher from an expensive shoe boutique. Can't go wrong.

Nah
She has been talking about it for a few years and has expressed what she'd like
She just hasn't had the funds or known where to go.
Thought I'd see if anyone here could recommend someone, or I will go fish on Google and take my chances
Thanks

Spending money on your car as a birthday gift for her sounds very reasonable to me, what car enthusiast would see anything wrong with that?

Maybe you could buy her a new car for you to drive? That would be super thoughtful.

(Told my girlfriend, she asked, "does he want to break up with her?"

Tried that, would have bought her a Mk3 RS, but she has driven an ST and didn't like its visibility (and it didnt have a factory sun roof)

She loves the XR5, just wants it to be a bit "different "

Its a great idea mate, you came to the wrong place for advice,the clowns here just like taking the ****...
Seriously guys,if you don't have any advice on where to go to get it done keep your mouth shut and be more helpful doing that.
This bs shouldn't be allowed to go on here.
This is exactly how arguments start and the **** takers sit back and watch people get banned,its a bloody shame.

Haven't used them yet but have been talking to these guys at Rockdale and they inspire a bit of confidence when they talk about the detail they go into. http://www.smogcarwraps.com.au/contact-us/
This is also for my wife's car, she isn't a car nut but loves her car and I have given her multiple gifts that are car based. Eibach suspension to lower it, upgrade of stereo system, alloys, tint etc , all were loved and appreciated.

I have seen a Bentley that the Smog guys wrapped. The tight detail and finish was very good.

They weren't the cheapest quote but it is there for longer than the other companies as they take a lot of parts off the car to wrap them properly.

Cheers.
Previous things done for her, adjustable coil overs, turbo back & 100 cell cat, intake, intercooler, tune, alloys.
No wonder she likes it so much

Is a troll someone who rubbishes someone elses ideas and says "mine is better" in order to create controversy?

Mirror much?
